What is the Uni-track Program?

The Uni-track Program at California State University, Fresno allows dual enrollment for high school students, who can earn college credit while enrolled in an approved Uni-track course. Students can request a Fresno State transcript upon completion of the coursework. High School and ROP teachers are eligible to apply to participate in the Uni-track program. There are minimal student fees for these Uni-track courses.

The Approval Process for New Courses and High School Teachers:

If your high school has current courses articulated with Fresno State and you would like to have additional courses reviewed, please submit the following five items (per course and per instructor) to Mrs. Dolores Vezzolini to begin the review process:

A current resume.

A Letter of Intent.

Three Letters of Reference and one must be from your current high school principal.

A detailed course syllabus including learning objectives.

Transcripts showing highest degree held.

Information for Parents and Students:

Please check with your high school principal and/or academic advisor to find out if your high school currently offers articulated courses through the Uni-track Program at Fresno State.

If you choose to participate in a high school program through California State University, Fresno, you will be held to the same standards, policies, regulations and deadlines that govern all students enrolled at Fresno State.

Uni-track courses will earn college credit and a permanent grade will be recorded on a California State University, Fresno transcript.

Uni-track (Extension) academic credit courses are not acceptable for meeting the residence requirements at California State University, Fresno.

Restrictions for Uni-track Students:

-May register for up to 8 units of academic credit, per term/semester.

When you select a "Letter" grading option of A, B, C, D, F, WU or I, the appropriate grade points are calculated into the grade point average at Fresno State. The following are grade points that will be earned for the following letter grades: A (4 points per unit), B (3 grade points per unit), C (2 grade points per unit), D (1 grade point per unit), F (0 grade points per unit), WU (0 grade points per unit) and I (not used in grade point calculations).

When you select a CR/NCR option, you must earn at least a "C" or better grade to receive Credit (CR) in the course. The "CR" grade contains no grade points but the units are allowed for your degree and are not computed into your grade point average. If you earn a No Credit (NCR) grade, this means you didn't earn a "C" or better in the course. No units will be calculated into your total number of units completed and no units will be allowed towards your degree. No grade points are calculated into your grade point average.

*If the student doesn't choose a grading option, when the "Mixed Grading" option is available, the system will automatically default to "Letter" grading.

**Some Uni-track courses don't have a grading option available and the grading basis cannot be chosen by the individual student.

Determining Term Assignments:To simplify this process, Uni-track courses will occur in the following two terms: Fall 2014 and Spring, 2015.

Students are limited to enrolling in a total of 8 units of academic credit or a total of two courses, per semester/term.

Uni-track students requesting to exceed 8 units of academic credit in a given semester/term must contact Dolores Vezzolini, Program Coordinator, at 559.278.0418 or via email at drodrig@csufresno.edu. Requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
